The Property Brothers would never let this happen!

I went to Salem about 4 years ago. I remain disappointed that the Sanderson sisters were not there.

first concert was at the beachland ballroom… the dirtbombs. i was 14 and forever grateful to have sympathetic—then enthusiastic—parents. anyway, that night was the first of many shows I attended at the beachland and I'm glad cleveland is rightly getting some recognition.

what the fuck is this writer's problem? why should patti smith deal with her husband's death (among other somber events) with anything other than seriousness? she's proven that she is a skilled and serious writer, something alex only noted in the final paragraph of this article. should just kids have been written in…

oh yes…

my junior year of college, wiz khalifa came. usually all of the shows are in the auditorium, but they were SO sure that this was going to be "the concert of the year" (in appalachia) that they booked him for the convocation center. they paid him something like 200,000 and ticket sales were horrendous—so much so that…

Reading the comments has been really interesting because such different individual lines have resonated with you all. i think this really supports the idea raised in the article—there's not a wasted word in the song, which is such a rarity, it seems. there's something so touching and disturbing about the specifity in…

theory: some had been speculating that the budget was trimmed because the show split with longtime sponsors, absolut. i think that's one reason why the songs chosen for the lip syncs have been so lacking, and even the guest judges have been more C and D list than usual. anyone know why absolut withdrew their support?…

another bobcat? hello!

ahhhh! that "dingy bar" has GOT to be the Union. I'm in Athens myself so I gasped when I saw you referencing OU. Anyway, when I was about 13 I bought "elephant" on a whim and it was life-changing. My dad and I really bonded over the band and he took me to see them in Columbus during the "Get Behind Me Satan" tour. My…

great to see such a positive review of this book. she visited my creative writing program in the fall and her reading was funny, devastating—not one that i will ever forget. i was a huge idiot and didn't take advantage of the opportunity i had for her to read, critique, and meet with me to discuss one of my essays…

I'm not as up in arms as others over the elimination, but my main gripe is that the eliminations have NEVER been solely determined by who wins the lip sync. We've seen that even in this season when Trinity was booted, mainly because she had already been in the bottom and had clearly maximized her potential. Darienne…

I guess I have a couple of lingering questions about the judges' options… It really seemed like the dishes Shirley and Stephanie served were better than anything the Spain team produced. Since the judges knew they couldn't eliminate Nicholas (the only reason for the team's failure), couldn't they have awarded a rather…

i saw that a few years ago! my aunt about had a stroke when i told her where i was going (she lives in kenner), but it was seriously worth it. if you want to see real majesty, that's where to go.

i lived here for years, so it will be a great welcome back. haven't been for the christmas holidays since i was about 12… i want ALL the reveillon meals oh my god. jesus i was about to nut over the menu at commanders. our neighborhood place was mandinas so i'm sure we'll be there. otherwise i fear a lot of the trip…

not really getting the comment about Brian. He was on top in both the quickfire and the elimination challenge this week! any other episode, i probably would have agreed with you… doesn't really fit based on this episode. i didn't mind the challenge, but it should have happened in one of the first two weeks of the…

yay! i'm glad to see such a good review of an athens band. we're very proud of skeletonwitch.

one of the cops was ladonna's dentist husband on treme, so there is REAL cross over potential

the writers REALLY need to realize that there's more than one neighborhood in new orleans other than the 9th ward.

yeah… that's not a NOLA accent AT ALL. and i laughed aloud when he claimed to be from the 9th ward. yeaaaah okay
